Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting Oil Pump = Stupity = Lotta $$$$$$

The simply things can cause so much grief. When I installed the SC and headers, I also installed an Accusump, oil cooler and dual remote oil filter. I plumbed everything with braided steel lines. Insread of running the oil feed from the head I
ran it from the oil filter adapter plate. After checking evrything over and over again. I missed the simplest thing. I ran the oil lines from the
adapter plate to the oil filter plate BACHWARDS.
Moral of Story CHECK EVERTYTHING, CHECK EVERYTHING AND CHECK IT AGAIN!!!!! Thanks to Terry Haines for his tip, which helped me find my FUBAR.Hopefully some good will come from this lesson for all those who see this post.

Getting the oil lines on in the correct flow etc can cause major probs.Its always best to mark the system up with marker for 'in' 'out' etc and lay it out on the floor before its fitted...I'm sure many have had the same problem,just rembember that the 'anti-drainback' valve in the oil filter is an 'anti flow' valve when the oil is pumping in the other direction!!!.Glad its sorted and the info helped..Regards TH

Gee Terry this sounds awfully familiar to a conversation we had! In through the center and out through the side! LOL Canton may have a good product on their hands with the accusump but the directions sure leave a lot to be desired.
